While pregnant, perhaps you committed to attending a specific family event or joining friends on a trip, but once the baby arrives, you realise you don't feel comfortable following through with those plans.

The reality of parenthood looks far different than the fantasy of it, so don't feel like you have to martyr yourself for changing your mind. The people who genuinely care about you and the well-being of your baby will understand and offer their unconditional support.
